Cerebus has ended earlier this month

For those of you interested Cerebus ended earlier this month. This article pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter:

It was wierd to see the author change the way he did over the years but it still was an interesting ride.

Heya:

I'm one of the fans who missed his "earlier, funnier work." I loved Cerebus, High Society, Church & State, Women, and such. Then, eh. I'm far too shallow to enjoy the later stuff.

Take care,
Dreeble

I was a big on-and-off Cerebus fan. I'd buy it for a time, drop it, pick it up thirty issues later, etc. I still like the first two 'phone books' the best. Those are the only ones I'd buy. After that it gets rockier and rockier, finally just failing to keep my interest at all.

All I can say, is may the great earthpig rest in peace with his contemporaries -- Flaming Carrot, Reid Flemming, and all the rest.

The brought comics to a strange new place and for that we should all be greatful.

I actually collected it from the beginning, but dropped off around issue 80 or so. I still pick it up when I find issues in the bargain bins. I doubt I'll ever get the complete run, but it's usaully a good read.

Not to be a thread-crapper, but that was still going on? I thought people had stopped reading it years ago...like 13 years ago.

No, it's quite all right. I had very mixed feelings about where the comic and Dave's head went right around the half way mark.

The first four volumes are still a classic read (Cerebus, High Society, Church and State Volumes 1 and 2). Then Dave went... strange...

I read it mostly for momentum and the occasional old Dave Sim that surfaced from the strange, scary dogma that his new personality was beginning to preach.

Yeah, I have been following Cerebus, and the ironic thing about it is that I have decided that Dave Sim, the prophet of self-publishing, seriously needed an editor to reign in the craziness. I mean, he has the chops (he did serious research before drawing the three stooges stuff) but it seems like his talent would have been better used in a work-made-for-hire routine under the watchful eyes of a Marvel or DC editor, who would not have let him get away with his homophobic and frankly sexist views.
